(Upper Case VS Lower Case) **EarthStone777** does not touch the ball as he want’s some LuCks to join the game before it is a complete blow up.

Ok, **Cemetery Savior** , forget the Crib Sheet\*… You could have scored because you were the third UCks to touch the ball. (Upper Case named player) Alternatively with your passing the Doper Ball, had another UCks been the next to post we would have gotten 2 points… But **twickster** was there to block the shot. - I’m sure I missed some rules in it anyway. ---
